Teaching Becomes Torture

"What's she talking about?" Zack was now standing beside me.

"Babe?" Annie took my hand in hers.

"What came over me," I sat up and chuckled.

"Take it slow," Robbie handed me a glass of cold water.

"Should we call an ambulance?" Zack gave me a concerned look.

"I'm fine, I just had a mad five minutes," I pushed the glass of water away.

"Have you been eating and drinking enough?" Zack asked.

"Yeah," I muttered.

"Liz!" Annie smacked my arm.

"Fine, I've not eaten a proper meal in a while, I've been too busy," I admitted.

"My poor girl," Annie wrapped her arms around my neck, cuddling me.

"You should see a doctor when you get home, just to make sure there's nothing wrong," Robbie looked nervous.

"She'll be fine," Zack pushed Robbie towards one of their rooms and he followed behind.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Annie put her head on mine.

"You owe me lunch," I smirked at her.

"I thought I'd avoided that," she rolled her eyes playfully.

"Come on then," I grabbed her hand to help myself up.

"Are you still okay to come clubbing?" She asked me as we walked down the road and to the nearest restaurant.

"I'm fine!" I assured her, pushing the restaurant door open.

"Table for two," l requested.

"Couple or friends?" The waiter asked us.

"A couple," Annie barged in front of me and linked arms with me.

"Uh yeah," I mumbled, unsure what Annie was doing.

"If you'd follow me," The winter directed us to the back of the restaurant with dim lights and few noisy children.

"Why did you say that!" I raised my voice at Annie once the waiter was out of sight.

"Lower your tone sweetheart," Annie took my
hand and we both burst out in laughter.

"It's half price and we get a free bottle of wine and a balloon to take away!" She chuckled.

"Bagsy having the balloon," I raised a brow.

"The wine is mine," she licked her lips.

"Can I get you two a drink?" The waiter returned.

"I'll have a glass of orange juice and my beautiful girlfriend will have a Coke," i joined in with the plan.

"Actually please make that a Diet Coke, I need to go on a diet," she glared at me.

"You're perfect as you are princess," I kissed her cheek.

"What a perfect couple," the waiter smiled.

"Aren't we just," Annie whispered into my ear as the waiter went to get our orders.

"Annie, you're needed back at uni, something to do with your girlfriend," Zack suddenly appeared next to us.

"Wait, me?" I stood up.

"No babe, he's talking about Marcus," she grumbled.

"But our food," I pulled my puppy face.

"I'll eat Annie's," Zack was quick to take Annie's seat once she'd stood up.
